4 Tips That Can Help Thicken Your Uterine Lining

The uterine lining is the inner layer of cells that line the womb or uterus. This lining grows in the womb and is shed monthly through the process that we know as menstruation.

The main purpose of the uterine lining is to prepare the uterus for pregnancy and welcome the fertilized egg into the womb. During pregnancy, it will house the fetus until it is full term and ready to be birthed.

Why is it important to keep the uterine lining healthy? For a fertilized egg to be implanted in the uterus, the lining must be in perfect condition.

Here are some ways that can help you have a healthier uterine lining:

Eat healthily and stay hydrated

Diet plays a part in fertility too. When taking your meals, keep in mind to:

Have less sugar and caffeine
Sugar can affect your hormonal balance while caffeine on the other hand, interferes with the muscular contractions of your fallopian tubes.
Fallopian tubes are where conception takes place. These tubes are also the ones which guide the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
If these tubes can’t move well, they can’t put the egg in the right place for conception either.

Eat food that can help your ovulation
Invest in fruits and vegetables. Make sure to get B vitamins, zinc, and vitamin C.

Drink lots of water!
Water is essential to transporting hormones. It also helps keep your cervical mucus thinner and it will help sperm to travel easily.

Get enough sleep and relaxation

Having enough sleep will help regulate your hormones. Make sure to get at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep a day and as much as possible, keep a regular sleeping pattern.

To help you get better sleep;

you can use sleeping masks

have a night time routine to help you relax

Put your gadgets away to keep you from sleeping late

Get comfortable in a cool and dark room

Other options that can help you relax is by trying activities such as yoga, acupuncture, or aromatherapy.

Exercise and Improve circulation

Exercising improves circulation throughout the body so that nutrients from the food you take are distributed evenly. Circulation will also increase the blood flow to your uterus. And when your uterus is in good shape, it can also produce better uterine lining.

Another way to improve circulation is by getting a massage. You can always ask your partner to give you one before bed so that you can sleep more comfortably.

Fertility medication

Help yourself by helping your body. Fertility medications increase the chances of conception by improving follicular movement to help to help you ovulate, regulating your hormones to increase the chances of ovulation, etc.
